The Song that she sang was all written In rubies that sparkled like wine, Like the Morning Star burning, new litten By the tablets of diamond divine. Like some ravishing sound made from divers Sweet instruments fluting in June, From her soul flowed those musical rivers Os Odin called the rivers of Rune. Then come to my bower, sweet Angel! Love’s Fountain of life to unseal ; You shall live in this amber evangel, Sweet Ellen! the Pride of Mobile ! Sweet Ellen ! dear Ellen ! the Maid of Mobile ! My Mary, inavourneen, the Moon of Mobile ! Her soul sparkled bright through the azure Os her violet eyes full of light, Like young Venus, long absent from pleasure, Who sees her bright Islands in sight. As the Angels elomb u p, late at even, From the Bethel of Jacob abovjLf-’ So, the Angels of thought go to Ileaven On the rounds of the Ladder of Love. Then come to my bowt-r sweet Angel! Love’s fountain of Life to unseal ; You shall live in this amber Evangel Sweet Ellen ! the Pride of Mobile ! Sweet Ellen ! dear Ellen ! the Maid of Mobile ! My Mary, inavourneen, the Moon of Mobile! Prester John never sent, out of duty, From the City of Heaven, called Causay,* A maiden so rich in all beauty, For the Lord of the Isles of Cathay.t Like the Moon in her soft silver azure, Star-engirdled, sweet Queen of the Night! So she stood in this palace of pleasure, Circled round by the Swans of delight. Then eoine to my bower sweet Angel! Love’s fountain of Life to unseal ; You shall live in this amber Evangel, Sweet Ellen! the Pride of Mobile! My Mary,mavourneen, the Moon of Mobile! Tontine Hotel, N. Haven, Conn.

It was the capitul of Southern China, under the dynasty of the Song. fGbenghis Khan, whose palace was bu It of pure gold, and ornamented wiili the finest Jewels. The Love Letter. O, come to me this very eve, for I am all alone, A weeping by my writing desk, and’ pa and nia have gone ; They say that you are going off—that pa has used you ill— But if lie has, depend upon it, his daughter never will! We had that ugly lawyer here to dine witli us to-dav, And rna took pains to speak so him in her paternal way— She said—no matter what she said—the lawyer grin ned a smile, An| fixed bis bold, assuring glance, upon me all the \\i\:le. Pa says he has a fine estate—a dwelling rich and rare— And envies much the favor’d one who may be mistress there; And rna declares—though not a word ofall she says is true — That lie is vastly more polite, and handsomer than you! Confound their antiquated whims —I’m angry even now, The hot blood of indignant scorn is mounting to my brow, I hate their haughty favorite, I hate him and his gold, Tho’ rich as ancient with lands and wealth untold. O, tvhat is wealth where love is not. —and what is yel low gold ? To soothe and warm the linrrian heart, when sorrowful and cold— As coldly flash the Northern fires, to make the light more dreary, So Wealth and useless splendor gleam round the lone and weary. I hate that favorite of pa’s—that lawyer old and grim, I’d strangle him before the priest, before I’d marry him! I care not for his country seat, and all his dusty land, I hate him and his riches too —he shall not have my hand. I hope you will not leave me love, indeed you cannot go, For pa would be in ecstaeies, and I would miss you so. O, come to me, this very eve, before the moon has set, And we will wonder in her light, and have each oth er yet And we will talk of by-gone times, our earlier hopes and fears, And know again the luxury of sympathizing tears — And we will breathe our vows again by every holy star, And oh, we will be happy yet, and love iu spite of pa. AMELIA. MARRIAGE. [We commend the following sensible article to the consideration of all—to the married as well as to the unmarried. The latter, especially, have a deep in terest in pondering upon the truth it contains. As for those who are already caged, badly so, to them we recommend patience—sueli need much of the‘martyr’s spirit’ —the only way is to make the best of it.] 1 have heard a great deal, at divers times, about the ordainings and leading of Providence in connection with this matter. It has been suggested that Provi dence may wisely ordain the union—no; 1 will not say union—the contrast or opposite qualities in mar riage, but thereby the greatest amount of good may he distributed. The learned shall instruct the ignorant, the refined shall polish the rude, the liberal dispense the gains of the covetous, and (1 might also as well add) beauty reflect some of its attractiveness upon the face of ugli ness. This is a very comfortable doctrine for one to preach who feels himself badly mated. Men love to throw their sins upon the shoulders of Providence if they can, or on circumstances, or even on tho devil himself. It is an easy way of getting over a piece of egregious folly. No.no, friend, just blame your own precipitancy or thoughtlessness, and let Providence go clear. As for circumstances, very likely you moulded them to suit your own views and gratify your own pas sions. Ido not believe Providence intended you to have any other than one of the best of wives. ‘A pru dent (or good) wife is from the Lord.’ You see the Scripture is plainly against you. If your wife be not a good one, i. e., adapted to your nature and circum stances, you cannot regard her as sent to you from God, except as a punishment for your sins. Had you taken the requisite pains, you might have found one j ust adapted to you. If there has been any leading of Pro vidence in the case, very likely you took the lead your self. This sort of leading of Providence is rife in the world. I shall now address myself particularly to the un married, and more especially to the young men, I shall not say as St. Paul, ‘seek not a wife.’ I suppose you would be thinking about the matter, perchance to be a ‘seeker.’ Yet, I would say seek not unless thou seek est rightly. I tell thee, friend, it is the most impor tant step of thy life, as thou mayest hereafter find.— Pause, therefore, and consider a little. Think what thou sbonldst love most, and what thou shouldst love longest. Believe me, you can love as deeply, and far more safely, if your reason arid judgment have consider able to say in connection with this business. Igo for love of the deepest, strongest and most lasting kind, and 1 am sure that reason is no enemy of this. If you sufier yourself to be blinded by more show and glitter, and are at the same time led by some blind Cupid, you at least, will be likely to ‘fall into a ditch.’ I have known those who regretted that in the choice of a wife, they were hll so much by passion and so little by reason, or were sI thoughtless in a mat ter of so great importance. Many, very many, bestow far more pains in the choice of a house, a horse, or even a than in the selection of u wife or hus band. The house must be carefully examined, the good points of a horse looked after, and the dress turn ed over and over ; but a companion for life, sharer ol our joys and sorrows, the manager of all our domestic concerns—this is nothing—hit or miss—here goes. I say be not hasty in this business. Look—think, before you commit yourself. A knot of this kind is easily tied, but like the old Gordian knot, it cannot be untied. Death alone can cut it, and I would not have you think him long in coming. One of the great objects for which marriage was in stituted is, tis I conceive, the intellectual and moral im provement of the parties. Tho object is a high and permanent one. The union ought to be formed with a view to the whole of life of man; his intellectual and moral life ; his life here and hereafter. How few look upon the n utter in this light, and enter upon it in such views! ‘Something transcendent, —Utopian,—can’t be made to enter into every day's life.’ 11a ! say you so ? They are the only views worthy of the union of two immortal beings. They who marry with such views and feelings will be married body and soul both. The highest happiness can rest on no sure foundation but that which is laid iu the human soul. Beauty, wealth, equipage, all that is outward, inay be swept away in a moment, or, if continued, may not satisfy. Intellectual and moral qualities are a more sure possession. Time serves hut to improve them, and tho enjoyment of them never cloys. Marry your wife’s soul. Let its qualities attract you. Then, every ac quisition which she makes, every day’s experience, eve ry book she reads will aid her in her onward progress, and render her more capable of ministering to your im provement and happiness. Do you want a wife capa ble of assisting you to become wiser and better, as well as to patch your clothes, darn your stockings, or cook vour dinner ? Alas, alas ! how many think a woman need to know nothing else. Such might also as well marry a thread and needle, a knitting machine, or a cooking stove. What if you area mechanic, a farmer, or a day la borer ? May not, ought not mechanics, farmers and day-laborers to grow wiser and better? Have you not a veritable soul, capable of improvement ? And do you imi want a wile with n soul? s'ibckings and cooking dinners are important iM'jirs, (the latter espe cially,) and may be peculiarly s 0 you. I know not, however, why a woman with asoul,~* feeling, think ing, cultivated soul—may not do these things. There is no good reason why you should not take the most elevated views of this subject, and go about this busi ness m a sensible, rational manner. Do you say, ‘One ‘•an scarcely find the article you recommend.’ Some what difficult, I allow. But it is to be feared that lit tle demand exists for wives of this sort, Let the de tr.and become general and the articles (speaking after the manner of men) will soon come to market. High c; grounds must be taken, higher views must be incul cated. The true subject, the whole subject of mar riage must be understood and felt, and husbands and wives must be educated in view of it, ere they can be come all to each other what God designed. I have urged deliberation upon the unmarried. It is indispensable to a wise choice. Do you remember the old saying,‘Marry in haste, and repent at leisure,’ pray wait till you get a few years older. You need the ripest judgment possible for this business. The eyes of sixteen do not see things in the same light as do the eyes of twenty-three or four. Seven or eight years at this period of your fife will improve your vis ion wonderfully, especially if you look well about you. Get old enough to understand your wants tolerably well. Study your own nature. What are your pre dominating tastes? Good ones, of course. What will probably be your avocation in life? What quali ties in a wife will be likely to render you the most hap py as years rollon ? Let the points be well looked to ere you make your choice. Perhaps I can sum up all in one word. Get a companion—one who will enter heart and sou) into your pursuits, who lias the power to do so, the disposition to do so, whom you can trust to do so, who can read with you if you read, study with you if you study, who shall possess a full sympathy with you in most or all things, who can minister to the higher and more refined wants of your nature, and who will be like ly to stir you up to noble endeavors. A doll or a bady cannot do this. A woman, high-minded, strong-minded, cultivated, whole-souled woman, is alone capable of it. You need a mind that will travel with your cwn. So shall you have a companion. There are wives and husbands who yet are not companions. It would be a sad thing to feel that in the highest and most delight ful walks of life, in the regions of taste, of intellectual beauty, you are, though married, alone , all alone ; your dinners and suppers and all that well got up, but in the highest, best pleasure of life—alone. Alas! for thee Look well then, to this business. I)o do not be afraid of a woman possessed of a well cultivated mind. Do not adopt the vulgar error ol supposing that such a woman must needs be very un fit fur the care of a household; must know very little of domestic affairs ; that, indeed, all this must, ns a mat ter of course, be sacrificed, if intellectual cultivation exist to any extent. Ido not believe it. It is a foul slander on the sex. You will generally find that those women who possess the best cultivated minds, are the best managers at home. I admit exceptions. They do, however, but prove the rule. And why should it not be so ? The best disciplined and highly polished mind, one might naturally suppose, would apply itself with great advantage to the management of domestic affairs. So lam pursuided it will be fouud, notwithstanding the sneers and saws about the ‘blue stockings,’ literary ladies, ‘domestic every day duties,’ and all that. Some people’s ideas of domestic duties seem to be entirely circumscribed by the walls of their kitchens. Such most surely think that the ‘chief end of man’ is to feed, clothe and sleep well, or that woman was de signed to be the servant of man’s lower appetites, and not a companion of his whole being. And has she in deed no higher mission than this ? Is this the ‘help’ designed by Providence as ‘meet’ forjnan ? Is this our view of the inatier ? Go live in Turkey, friend. ‘I urn Turk. You shall have soulless women for this world, and a houri for the next, of Islamism be true. I re peat it, be not afraid of mental culture. If you can appreciate it in a wife, by all means seek it in her. And intellectual sympathy is perhaps deeper than any other, and will bind friends more strongly together than aught beside. It is a sympathy between the high est faculties of your nature wi th those of a wife who is able to meet to some extent tho higher wants of your nature; with whoso spiiit yours can inmost cases blend. You eatinot truly marry outward beauty, or money, or lands, or houses. You have a soul, and cannot join it to these things. You can really marry only a human soul, harmonizing in the tasteful and beautiful with jour own. A few words to the married. Are you just married? Then the recollection of the days of courtship are yet fresh. Keep it up. Do not cease to court because you are married, the very reason of all others why you should continue to do so. Your opportunities for this now are far better than they were before. Be just as careful of each other's good opinion as before. ‘Fix up’as smartly for each other's society as before. Go right on doing all that is gallant and handsome as be fore. Your love, madam, was a gentleman. Your mistress, sir, was a lady. Shall not the husband and wife remain the lady and gentleman ? Do not forget your bow, sir, nor you your courtesy, madam. Give the best of these to each other. Do you, madam, stu dy your husband’s tastes and character. Understand him fully. If you are wise, (this is a secret) you may manage him altogether, and he, good man, will know nothing about it. If lie be given to reading and study, do j T ou read and study with him if possible. Il'lie is fond of having things snug and quiet, do you take a great deal of pains to have things so. Incite him to all that is good and noble. You will find your account in it. Are you ill married f Are you suffering the conse quences of thougtlessness ? Matches of thoughtless ness are by far the most numerous iu the world, and you, perhaps, are among the multitude. Well, you need much of the ‘martyr spirit.’ You must make the best of it. One good tiling you may do ; you may prevent others by your advice and influence from do ing in this matter as foolishly as you have done. If you have children, save them from the rock on which your hopes have split. Do not marry your son and daughter to a human body with a farm, or so much bank stock joined to -it. You can fuse gold, and you can mingle dirt with dirt; but unless y r ou possess cre ative power you cannot blend the immaterial with the material. If a young man comes to court your daughter, do not consider him a good match, merely because he may be ‘well to do’ in the world. How many marry for a ‘home’ but by no means find it a ‘sweet’ one. Only think of a fine, sensible, cultivated, intellectual girl, tied to a plodding, utilitarian sort of a fellow, who can no more appreciate her than did the cock the jewel which he scratched up. Horrible! Make good use of your own experience in this matter, so shall you turn your folly to account. Are you well married ; really well married ? Sit down and sing the old song of ‘few happy marriages.’ You can well afford to sing. Ytiu are of the few who have got into the narrow way of matrimonial felicity. Providence has smiled (1 want to say laughed, broadly laughed,) upon you. You have many a pleasant smile and good honest laugh at home, I’ll warrant. ITow 1 should like to drop in some evening, and spend an hour or two at your confortable fire-side, just for the sake of seeing a toeß-marricd couple; a rara avis, truly! I leave you to your enjoyment. The Art of Living - Easy. “I can’t see, for my life, how you alonjr so easy, Mrs. Jones,” said merry Ellen, to her mother's nearest neighbor; “your family is larger than ours, and you have less help—but you are always in time —come when I will, I find things in good order—no bustle, fuss, or confusion, Now we all work from morning till night, at our house, and our work is never done. There must be witch-work abuut it—some se cret—do tell us, won’t you “\VIn T ANARUS, Ellen, 1 don’t know that there is any great secret about it; all I can tell, is, I don’t seem to work very hard, but, somehow, I do get along very easy, as you say, with all that seems to fall to my lot.” “Well, we all know that, Mrs. Jones, and we know, too, that you do more reading and writ ing than any of the rest of us, and visit the sick more, and find time for everything that is good—oh, there is a secret iu it, and you must tell me all about it.” “Yes, Ellen, I will tell you all about it, for you’re real smart,and will make a first rate wife for Fred, some day, but you must first promise to try and make my secret of practical use to yourself, and teach everybody else.’’ Ellen blushed, and almost wished she had not been so impertinent. But Ellen was a good, sensible girl, and was impressed with the idea that Fred would want a wife somewhat resem bling bis mother in domestic matters; so she stooped down and tied her shoes, to hide her confusion. Mrs. Jones laid down the cheese knife, (for it was early in the morning) took up her babe, which her kind heart and arms had taken home, and picked up a basket of green peas that were to be shelled for dinner, and sat down to nurse her little orphan to sleep, take the peas out of the pod, and tell her story. “ Well, Ellen, iny secret is just thiswhen 1 go out to shake the table cloth, 1 always bring in a stick of wood; seldom take two steps where one will answer, and try to do everything the shortest way. I pulverise salaratus enough to last a month at one time, keep it in a con venient vessel, and then it is always ready for use —no untying papers and scattering the floor and cupboard, no table, rolling pin, or mortar to clean but once; instead of beating my eggs with a knife or spoon, I have a whip made of wire, bent in an oblongshape like a tassel, and tied with a bit of twine to a hickory handle, and I can beat the whites of six eggs to a standing form in two minutes, as easily as you will in half an hour with a knife. Any body can make an egg whip that can whittle a stick, or find a piece of wire, if they cannot afford to buv one. 1 only mention tlu-se things as samples of time-saving. But if you will not be offended, I will tell you a little story.” “Offended ! Nut I. It’s the silliest thing in the world to get offended, particularly at those who wish to do us good. The doctor often has to ad mister unpleasant drugs to effect a cure.” “Well then, Ellen, I was out taking tea with a neighbor last week, and we went into the milk room and cheese room to see the cheese ; and as we came back we stopped a few minutes to chat in the kitchen, the lady told the girl she might make some flannel cakes, as some call them, for tea. She started off on the bound to do her duty. First she ran down cellar and brought up the buttermilk jar, holding almost a pailful; then she ran back for the eggs, untied half a pound of salaratus, scattered a spoonful on the floor and and another on the table, roll ed it and tied it up; next turned her butter milk out and spattered anew dress all about the waist, splashed it over the table on divers things, said “oh, pshaw,” picked up the sale rat us from the floor, cleaned her dress, and brought a plate and then ran to the meal room; and came back with a heaping plate of flour, put it into the pan and stirred away, back and forth, till it was submerged and all lumps. There was not flour enough; away she ran again, brought more; there was uot still enough, ! and the third journey bad to be made, iu it w ;i> dashed, and she stirred away till Iter face glow ed liken peony; all at once she thought of la t eggs, and broke them into the batter. She had forgotten the salt, and ran the fourth time into the meal room. Now her hatter was too thick, and more buttermilk had to bo used, and con sequently the sal era tus paper had to undergo another operation. Finally, after much labor and toil, and expenditure of much time, and waste of material, the lumpy batter was ready for use. But here was anew trouble; the fire that was just right halfan hour before, was uow exhausted ; the griddle which had been set upon the stove in the beginning, burned rough, the kitchen and ante-room full of the unpleas ant smoke and odor of burnt grease—the cGkes stuck fast to the iron—two messes were w asted before the griddle POitld be rubbed smooth; the dish cloths were in sad plight, and the young lady had expended as much actual labor as would have prepared the whole meal, set the table and all.’’ “Oh dear—that was me; any body might know the picture! But how would you have managed “I should have taken my pan and spoon, put my saleratus into the pan, gone down cellar, and with my cup, which I keep in the jar for that purpose, dipped the buttermilk without spattering it, into my pan; then broke the eggs carefully into the milk; gone from there to the meal room and sifted the proper quantity of flour in, and stirred it carefully thus beating the eggs while I stirred in the flour ; dropped in a little salt and returned to the kitchen, all in five minutes, without having one thing out of place, except the eggs, shells, and those 1 should have removed some other time. So you see in stead of four journeys to the cellar, two to carry back, and four to the meal room, 1 should have done the whole work, saved my strength, sav ed the wear and tear of my slices, saved the soil of mv dress, saved the lire, the annoyance, and a good half hour for something else, and had a better mess of cakes for supper in the bar gain. And this is only one-half hour saved in getting supper, by one hand. It took three that night longer to get tea by cue half, than it would have taken me to have got it alone.’’ “But law me 1 here’s the baby fast a>leep — the peas are “all shelled, anti my story must he wound up, for it’s time to Nvliey off the curd.’ If this bit of experience does you any good, I will tell you another story some day.” —Ohio Cultivator.

It should be the motto of all. old and young, high and low, fortunate and unfortunate, so called. “ Press on !’’ Never despair; never be discouraged, however stormy the heavens, however dark tho way, however great the difficulties, and repeated the failures —“ Press on !’’ If fortune has played false with thee to-day,do thou play true to thyself to-morrow. If thy riches have taken wings and left thee, do not weep thyself away ; but bi up and doing, and retrieve the loss by new energy and action. If an unfortunate bargain has deranged thy business, do not fold thine arms, and give Hp all as lost but stir thyself and work the more vigorously. If those whom thou hast trusted have betrayed thee, do not be discouraged, do not idly weep, but “ Press on,” find others ; or what is better, learn to live within thyself. Let the foolishness of yesterday make thee wise to-day. If thy affections have been poured as , waters in the desert, do not sit down and perish of thirst, but ‘ Press on,’’ a beautiful oasis is before thee, and thou mayest relish it if thou wilt. If another has been false to thee, do not thou increase the evil by be ing false to thyself. Do not say the world hath lost all its poetry and beauty ; it is not so ; but even if it bo so make thine own poetry and beauty, by a brave and true life. “ Press on,” say we to every man and woman, for on tliis depends success peace, life, life !

A year or two since, when relieved from the multiplicity of busy cares in the lower part of the citv, we often had occasion to pass through one o’ those streets where reside the ton, when we often saw a lady standing at a window, where flowers bloomed most profusely, who seemed intensely uazing on those beautiful plants, as if watching with pleasure, the gradual unfolding of their snowy petals, and apparently unmindful of all that was passing around. Day after day as we passed, she usully was in the same place. So often did we notice this, that our curiosity was awakened; we thought something more than the flowers alone, must br the cause of this careful attention, and we sought to know the cause. Fortunately a gentleman, an agreeable acquaintance of ours, now out o: town, volunteered to introduce us. One day we called; the lady when we entered was in her usual place. After a few general re marks on the ordinary topics of the day, the weat.i er, and other etceteras, we noticed her flowers; as soon as we spoke of them, she rose, and nearing the window, “yes,” said she with a sigh, “I have nursed these with a great deal o. care, and par ticularly this lily,” at the same tune pointing to a beautiful specimen of that species of plant which stood near us blooming in full luxuriance. “A year ago last month my dear child, my poor Sarah, planted it.

An Indian Story. BY THOXAS ELLS, BROOKLYN. It was a sultry evening towards tho last of June, 1 that Captain Harmon and his eastern rangers urged their canoes upon the Kennebec River, in pursuit of their savage enemies. For hours they toiled diligent!v at the oar, —the last trace of civilization was left behind, and the long shadows ot the skirting forests met and blended in the middle and broad stream, that wound darkly through them. At every sound from ‘.he adjacent shores— the rustling wing of some night.bird, or the quick footstep ot some wild beast—the dash of the oar was suspended, and the ranger’s grasp tightened on bis ride. All knew the peril of the enterprise; and that silence, which is natural to men who feel themselves in the extreme ot moral jeopardy, settled like a cloud upon the midnight adven turers. “Hush—softly, men!” said ifie watchful Hannon, in a voice which scarcely rose above a hoarse whisper, as his canoes swept around a rugged promontory, “there is a light ahead I” All eyes were bent towards t'ne shore. A tall Indian lire gleamed up amidst the great oaks, casting a red and strong light upon the dark waters. For a single and breathless moment the operation of the oar was suspended, and every one listened with painful earnestness to catch the well known sounds which seldom fail to indicate the propinquity of the savages. Bui now all was silent. ‘Viih slow and faint movements ol the oar, die canoes gradually approached thesusoected spot. The landing was “fleeted in silence. After moving cautiously ill the dark shad ow, the party at length ventured within the hroad circle of the light which at Hist attracted their attention. Harrnon was at their head, with an eye and a hand as quick as those of the savage enemy whom he sought. The body of a fallen tree lav across tho path. As the rangers were on the point of leaping over it, the hoarse whisper of Harmon again broke the silence. “Hod of Heaven! lie exclaimed, pointing to the tree; “see here! ’lis the work of the cursed red-skins.” A smothered curse growled on the lips of the rangers as the bent grimly toward in the direction pointed out by their commander. Blood was sprinkled on tho long grass, and a human hand—the hand of a white man—lay on the bloody log. 1 here was not a word spoken, but every countenance worked with terrible emotion. Had the rangers followed their own desperate inclination, they would have hurried recklessly on to tho work of vengeance: but the example ot their leader, who had regained his usual calmness and self-command, prepared them tor a less speedy, but more certain triumph. Cautiously passing over the tearful obstacle m tho pathway, and closeiy followed by his companions, ho advanced stealthily with his party as much as possible, behind the thick trees. In a few moments, they obtained a full view ot the objects of their search. Stretched at their lengih aruuud a huge fire, but at con venient distance from it, lay the painted and bait-naked savages. It was evident, from their appearance,’ that they had passed the day in one of their horrid revels; and they were now suffering under the effects ot intoxication. Occasionally a grim warrior among them started half upright, grasping his tomahawk, as if to combat some vision of his disordered brain, but unable to shake off the stupor from his senses, uniformly fell back into his former position. The rangers crept nearer. As they bent their keen eyes along their well-tried rifles, each le t perfectly sure of his aim. They waited for the signal of Harmon, who was en deavoring to bring his long musket to bear upon the heads ol the savages. “Fire!” he at length exclaimed, as the sight ot his piece interposed fill and distinct between, his eye and the wild scalp-lock of the Indian; “tire, and rush on!” The sharp voice of thirty rifles thrilled through the heart of the forest. 1 here was a groan—a smothered cry—a wild and convulsive movement among the sleeping Indians, and all again was silent. Ihe rangers sprang forward with their clubbed muskets and hunting knives; but their work was done. The red men had gone to their last audit befue the Great no sound was heard among them save the gurgling of the hot blood from their lifeless, bosoms.
